By remarkable coincidence, my given name is the same as my paternal grandmother’s, but my mother told me that wasn’t the reason she chose it. She said she just liked it. I never knew whether to believe her.
My name Jeanne is the feminine of John in English and Jean in French. My dad’s name was John. I was named after my dad. Also, the name Jeanne mean’s God is gracious.
